Verdict with Ted Cruz

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.
 
 
 
Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
 
 
 
Yes, DC is Dangerous
 
 
 
Trump’s declaration that crime is “out of control” and his plan to deploy federal resources in Washington, D.C. has sparked fierce debate, with Democrats downplaying the issue and conservative voices pushing back. Clay and Buck dissect the Democratic response, particularly Chuck Schumer’s claim that Trump is using crime as a distraction from the Epstein case. They argue this narrative is politically desperate and disconnected from reality. Polling data from the Washington Post reveals that 91% of D.C. residents believe crime is a problem, with 51% calling it extremely serious, reinforcing Trump’s position and exposing a rift between political elites and everyday Americans.
 
 
 
Commentary from figures like Joe Scarborough and S.E. Cupp—typically aligned with the left—acknowledges the severity of urban crime and criticizes the Democratic strategy of relying on charts and statistics to dismiss public fear. The show highlights how Trump’s tough-on-crime stance resonates with voters, especially in lower-income and minority communities disproportionately affected by violence.
 
 
 
Subway Guy Gets Fired
 
 
 
A viral incident involving a Department of Justice employee assaulting a police officer with a Subway sandwich becomes symbolic of the broader cultural clash over law enforcement. The assailant was charged with felony assault, and Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized that such behavior will not be tolerated under the Trump administration. The hosts argue this marks a shift toward restoring respect for law enforcement and public safety.
 
 
 
The hour also explores urban crime disparities, comparing affluent areas like Northwest D.C. and Georgetown to high-crime zones like Southeast D.C. and parts of Houston. The discussion underscores how liberal elites, often shielded by private security, remain insulated from the violence impacting working-class neighborhoods.
 
 
 
Buck Gets "Served"
 
 
 
A spirited debate over Buck Sexton’s claim that he can serve a tennis ball at 100 mph. Professional tennis legends Andy Roddick and John Isner weigh in, casting doubt on the claim and sparking playful banter about technique, athleticism, and tennis attire. Lara Travis, Clay’s wife, joins the conversation via talkback, laying out the terms of the bet and rooting for Buck to defy the odds. The segment draws comparisons to amateur sports challenges and includes reflections on training for the NFL Combine, highlighting the difference between raw power and refined skill.
 
 
 
AK Gov. Mike Dunleavy
 
 
 
Clay and Buck discuss the geopolitical significance of Alaska, emphasizing its proximity to Russia and its strategic military assets, including missile intercepts and the largest Coast Guard presence in the U.S. Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy joins the show to provide insight into the summit’s logistics, security measures, and the potential for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to join future peace talks. The governor praises Trump’s leadership and expresses optimism that the summit could mark a historic turning point in resolving the war in Ukraine.

BONUS: Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Aug 14 2025

🛂 Immigration Enforcement Expansion
 
The first half of the document discusses recent agreements between ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and three states—West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas—to expand immigration enforcement under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Key points include:
 
 West Virginia • : Governor Patrick Morrisey initiated collaboration involving state police, corrections, and the National Guard. Officers are empowered to interrogate, arrest, and detain suspected undocumented immigrants.
 South Dakota • : Governor's “Operation Prairie Thunder” involves highway patrol, National Guard, and corrections staff in supporting ICE operations.
 Arkansas • : Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed the “Defense Against Criminal Illegals Act,” increasing penalties for undocumented immigrants convicted of violent crimes and enabling state police to inquire about immigration status in public.
 
The tone is supportive of these measures and critical of Democratic opposition, portraying the expansion as a return to “law and order.”
 
🖋️ Autopen and Presidential Competence
 
The second half shifts to a discussion about the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the alleged cognitive decline of former President Joe Biden and the use of the autopen (a device that signs documents on behalf of someone). Highlights include:
 
 • Allegations that Biden was not present or competent during the signing of key legislation.
 • Commentary from 
Newt Gingrich • and 
Mark Levin • questioning the legality and ethics of autopen use.
 • Claims that Biden was “incompetent” by 2023 and that 
Dr. Jill Biden • may have acted as a de facto president.
 • Accusations that cabinet members and Vice President Harris failed their constitutional duties.

Texas Dems Surrender-Explaining Dem Redistricting Hypocrisy Nationwide

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.
 
 
 
Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
 
 
 
Trump Says What People Think 
 
 
 
President Donald Trump's crime reduction initiative in Washington, D.C., which has sparked intense backlash from left-wing commentators accusing him of federal overreach and authoritarianism. Clay and Buck dissect the media's reaction and highlight the irony of critics opposing efforts to make the nation's capital safer.
 
 
 
The hosts explore rising urban crime rates, citing firsthand accounts and statistics from cities like St. Louis, Baltimore, Memphis, and Kansas City, and propose deploying National Guard troops as a potential solution. They emphasize the importance of law enforcement, incarceration of repeat offenders, and authentic political leadership in addressing violent crime.
 
 
 
TX AG Ken Paxton on Redistricting Battle 
 
 
 
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins the program to provide exclusive updates on the Texas redistricting battle, including legal actions against Democratic lawmakers who fled the state. Paxton outlines efforts to enforce quorum laws and criticizes the hypocrisy of Democrat-led states with heavily gerrymandered districts.
 
 
 
Would You Do This on a Date?
 
 
 
Clay and Buck share personal dating anecdotes, including a humorous story about a failed e-scooter date and a debate over the social faux pas of using gift certificates on first dates. The segment blends cultural commentary with relatable humor, resonating with both longtime listeners and new audiences.
 
 
 
Mamdani is Everyone's Worst Nightmare
 
 
 
Top Political Headlines include White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming a major diplomatic meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. The hosts also dissect the latest economic news, celebrating a 2.7% inflation rate and record highs across the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow Jones—crediting Trump’s tariffs and economic policies for the market surge and wage growth.
 
 
 
In cultural news, Clay and Buck discuss Disney’s apology and rehiring of Gina Carano after her 2021 dismissal, and the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s ad, which polls show was largely well-received despite media outrage. The conversation pivots to social media censorship, with praise for Elon Musk’s overhaul of Twitter (now X), which they say has curbed leftist bullying and restored free speech.
 
 
 
The hour also dives into New York City politics, spotlighting the rise of mayoral candidate Mamdani, described as a “straight-up communist.” The hosts debate George Will’s assertion that Democrats should face the consequences of their policies, with Buck pushing back, arguing that defeat doesn’t teach lessons—especially to the left.

Media’s Role in Biden’s Decline "Only Good Four Hours a Day"

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.
 
 
 
Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
 
 
 
Make America Safe Again
 
 
 
violent crime in American cities, with Clay spotlighting disturbing incidents in Cincinnati and Memphis. He shares the story of Holly, a mother who was brutally attacked, and critiques the justice system’s failure to keep repeat offenders off the streets. Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno invited Holly to speak out about the crime. Clay praises Judge Jeanine Pirro and President Donald Trump for taking strong stances on law and order, including Trump’s proposal to federalize the D.C. police force and demand a new U.S. census to correct errors from 2020 and prepare for 2030.
 
 
 
The show also explores the political debate over crime statistics, contrasting claims of declining crime rates with real-life safety concerns. Clay argues for empowering police, holding judges accountable, and ensuring cities like Washington D.C. and Memphis become safe again for families.
 
 
 
American Dads are Failing
 
 
 
A deep dive into the rising violent crime in Washington, D.C., spotlighting President Donald Trump's efforts to restore law and order in the capital. Drawing on historical symbolism, Clay reflects on the importance of capital cities, referencing Abraham Lincoln’s commitment to completing the Capitol dome during the Civil War and the newly announced reconciliation monument at Arlington Cemetery.
 
 
 
The episode features a striking comparison of homicide rates in global capital cities, revealing Washington, D.C.’s alarming rate of 41 per 100,000—far higher than cities like Lima, Nairobi, and Mexico City. Clay argues that a safe and vibrant capital is essential to American exceptionalism and global leadership.
 
 
 
The crisis of fatherlessness in America. Clay explores how the absence of fathers in households correlates with youth violence, poverty, and societal breakdown. He responds to listener feedback, emphasizing that while individual cases vary, the data overwhelmingly shows that intact families—especially with present fathers—lead to better outcomes. The discussion includes racial disparities, with Clay citing historical data showing stronger black family units prior to the Great Society programs and questioning the long-term impact of government dependency.
 
 
 
Talking Left and Living Right
 
 
 
The decline of fatherhood in American homes. Clay and listeners explore how absent fathers—across racial and socioeconomic lines—correlate with rising violent crime, poverty, and social instability. The discussion includes listener emails and calls, including one from Ralph in Cincinnati, who shares his personal struggle for equal custody and critiques the family court system’s bias toward mothers. Clay argues for 50/50 parenting time and criticizes the financial incentives that perpetuate divorce litigation.
 
 
 
Clay promotes YouTube bonus content book reviews, including The Fate of the Day, a volume in the American Revolution trilogy, and thrillers by Mick Herron, Sue Grafton, and Robert Parker. Clay emphasizes the importance of reading and historical literacy for conservative audiences.
 
 
 
SC Sen. Tim Scott on Faith
 
 
 
South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, author of One Nation Always Under God: Profiles in Christian Courage, and dives deep into the crisis of fatherlessness in America, the role of faith in family life, and the impact of government policy on household dynamics. Senator Scott joins the program to discuss his book and personal journey growing up in a single-parent household. He highlights the importance of faith, family, and male role models in shaping strong communities. Scott shares statistics on fatherless homes—over 70% among African-American boys and 40% among white working-class families—and calls for a cultural and spiritual revival to restore family values.
 
 
 
The hour also touches on President Trump’s call for a new census, which could shift congressional representation and electoral college influence toward red states. Clay explains how a corrected census could add seats in Florida and Texas while reducing representation in California and New York. In a lighter moment, Clay and Senator Scott discuss college football rivalries, with Scott predicting a strong season for the South Carolina Gamecocks. The conversation showcases Scott’s loyalty and enthusiasm for sports, adding a relatable and entertaining dimension to the hour.
